Mixing the beauty of song with a new gaze on opera and its drama, the counter-tenor Théophile Alexandre and the
Quatuor Zaïde revisit the famous divas’ arias, from Carmen to Violetta, including Eurydice, Juliet or the Queen of the Night. Together they question the authenticity of roles assigned by men to women in all these operas composed by men: celebrated
but caricatured and corseted, virtuosi but dehumanised, glorified but martyred…down to the pit of their glorious agony. An operatic spectacle which shakes up established codes whilst paying a vibrant homage to these great feminine characters and to the best operatic compositions.
